Steve Miller: "This tune was made up one night out underneath the

stars at a party. I was stretched out on the hood of an old car, playing

guitar, looking for shooting stars and it just seemed to write itself. The

slide guitar part is a Fender Stratoscaster plugged into a Manny's fuzztone

box, run through a Hammond organ Leslie speaker set on chorus. Yeahhh!"

Enjoy!
